first-class champion

Early in the morning, the court room was full of people sitting there, some were drinking tea and chatting, some were sitting and dozing there, and a few people were discussing something with great interest. The pros and cons of drama.

Duan Mingyu's robes were neat and he didn't find a seat, just pacing up and down the room like a string of candied haws, looking restless.When some officials saw it, they whispered and laughed with others: "Look at that lord of the country, he knows that he has made great contributions to the fire prevention, and the sage will definitely reward him. Hehe, I can't hold my breath anymore." laugh.

There are basically two factions in this court, one is headed by the Seventh Prince Li Jie, and the other is headed by the traitor Tian Lingzi. Dagong Jinjing has become the core figure among them, and now he has offered a fire prevention strategy, and he has risen to a position that even an old party member can't match in an instant, but at this moment, naturally, some familiar people came forward to greet him, some officials Seeing him, he cupped his hands and congratulated him: "Haha, the Duke of the country solved the fire problem easily with food and grass this time. It is really indispensable. I am going to court today, and the Holy One will definitely reward me. I will first congratulate the Duke of the country for his promotion." ah."

"Accept your auspicious words, hahaha... This time is the work of the Seventh Prince and the court. Duan doesn't dare to take the credit and be proud. I just did my part. I can't afford this praise." Duan Mingyu politely replied.

"Hey, why should the Duke of the country be humble when he has made great contributions? Speaking of which, the Duke of the country is now an official to the right envoy of the Shence Army, and Zhongshu Sheng's family is in charge of peace. The speed of this official promotion is so fast that in my Tang Dynasty It is one of the best, I don't know what kind of official will be promoted this time, haha, the Duke is so young, and his official career is smooth sailing, I am really envious of others, if the Holy Majesty grants you another good job this time, it will be perfect.

On the way to court, the Seventh Prince was sitting in an official sedan chair, squinting his eyes slightly and feigning sleep.Suddenly, the conversation of a few servants on the left outside the big sedan caught the attention of the Seventh Prince.

"It's strange, big brother, look there. When did the Royal Palace build a row of houses?" "I don't know, I think it's where the gardeners live?"

"Ah bah! You have a pair of dog's eyes. But you have a pig's brain. You see how magnificent the house is. Could it be used by people who look after the garden? I guess it's a separate palace built by the Holy One." .”

The Seventh Prince was very surprised when he heard it, and hurriedly looked out the window on the left, and he saw a huge courtyard forest, on a land of nearly ten acres, a magnificent building rose from the ground, and it had just begun to take shape.

The Seventh Prince, Li Jie, didn't know that this was his royal brother's Imperial Forest Garden, so he hurriedly called: "You guys, go forward and answer."

A few servants hurried to catch up, and the Seventh Prince leaned against the window, pointing over there: "Is this my Royal Palace? I have built such a big mansion in a few days. Judging by its appearance, it must have cost a lot of money." Fei, why didn't someone report to the King first about the construction of such a large palace and villa?"

These servants hurriedly said: "I don't know the reason, please ask the prince to let the slaves go and find out. Then return to the prince."

The Seventh Prince nodded with a sullen face, and sat back in the sedan chair to close his eyes and rest his mind.

The guard of honor continued to move forward, but the servant led several people towards the house that was being built in full swing.

When King Zhao Qi came to the palace, sat down in the side room of the court hall, and took a rest, the servant who had inquired about the news just now rushed back, and said respectfully: "My lord, this servant has already inquired and understood that the building on the Royal Palace is The house is not a building in the palace, but the private house of Tian Lingzi, the envoy of the Tenth Army of the Shence Army, under the Tongzhong Shumen."

The Seventh Prince wondered: "I heard that this land is the Royal Palace, right?"

"Yes" the servant replied hastily.

The Seventh Prince was furious, and his thumb almost touched the tip of the servant's nose: "Royal Royal Garden, why did Tian Lingzi's house be built. Tell me?"

The servant knelt down in panic, knocking repeatedly: "I don't know, I don't know."

The Seventh Prince gritted his teeth, flicked his sleeves and said, "Whether it is tolerable or unbearable, let Zong Zhengqing find out and return it to this king."

Two days later in the afternoon, the Seventh Prince held a sutra banquet in the palace, and he was discussing literature with Guo Ji, a scholar of the Imperial Academy.

Guo Jibo was involved in classics and history, clever and strong in memory, quick in diction, and well-versed in strategy.

Among all the officials in the imperial court, no one could answer questions like him fluently with the Seventh Prince. In the eyes of the Seventh Prince, Guo Jizhi was erudite and could be called No. 1 in the Tang Dynasty.

So not only do I like to discuss knowledge with him the most, but I also admire him very much.

The Seventh Prince didn't know that this Grand Scholar Guo had real talents and learning, but no matter what he asked, this Grand Scholar Guo could quote from many sources and scriptures, as if all the knowledge in the world was in his mind, but It's not that this person can really know everything about it, but it's because this scholar Guo is also an errand of the Royal History Museum. The Seventh Prince is not only a virtuous king, but also a good book. What kind of book, Guo Ji would ask the little official in charge of the book to understand it, and then he would stay up all night and night to memorize all the relevant knowledge.

The next day, the Seventh Prince asked his ministers about something unclear in the book, and he was the only one who could answer without any omissions without any omissions.

Come and go, in the eyes of the Seventh Prince.

This person is the number one erudite Confucianist in the Tang Dynasty.

Guo Ji's eloquence was expected, but the Seventh Prince did not expect Duan Mingyu to have such abilities. Although Duan Mingyu's old sayings are not very good, the interpretations in modern books have been thoroughly studied by many experts and scholars. What is in front of the public is genuine goods, and Duan Mingyu doesn't talk too much, but when the two fall into misunderstandings, have disputes, or have ambiguous statements, they always come forward to correct them, which can be said to make them admire each other.But when they were talking about classics and history, Li Yu, an official of Zong Zhengqing, came in tiptoe.

Li Yu is Zong Zhengqing, who is in charge of the affairs of the royal family, as long as it involves the royal family.It is very troublesome to deal with all matters. Most of those who can be such an official are long-sleeved and good at dancing.He was exquisite and slick, but only judging by his appearance, Zong Zhengqing, who was in his early fifties, had clear features and a dignified and upright look.

Seeing the Seventh Prince, Li Yuzheng bowed and saluted: "My lord, I have ordered you to inquire about the construction of a private house in the Royal Palace, and I already have a clue."

"Oh? Tell me quickly." The Seventh Prince put down the scriptures.

"Yes!" Li Yu bowed and said: "The minister found out that the land of the Royal Palace is no longer the royal land."
